A collection of 4 Tribute Magazines dedicated to Freddie Mercury, who died on the 24th November, 1991. Condition as depicted - all in excellent condition. The only thing missing is the 'Giant Poster' inside the 'Freddie Mercury: The Legend Lives On as described on the cover of same (see photo). Magazines are:
Freddie Mercury: A Pictorial Tribute (Published 1991 - this is an independent publication). This charts the career of the man in both photos, posters (including spreads) and interviews with friends and fellow rock stars, actors and DJs. Poignant, emotional and celeratory, this is as interesting as it is rare. Extremely hard to find anywhere - I cannot find this anywhere else on the internet. Freddie Mercury: The Legend Lives On (Published 1992 by Nowscreen Ltd.). Illustrates his life from Frederick Bulsara to Freddie Mercury. Includes posters, and a fantastic double page spread poster of a black leather-clad Freddie. Also includes a complete Queen discography. Freddie Mercury: The Long Goodbye (Published 1992 by Colourgold). Contains numerous double page spread posters, as well as exclusive photos from the now famous Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in 1992. Contains many articles on various aspects of the man's life both on and offstage.
Classic Rock magazine - Cover of Freddie, entitled ' Freddie Mercury 1946-1991. Real Life - or Just Fantasy? (December 2001 Edition) Contains a 19 page synopsis of Freddie and Queen, which includes a full discography and a breakdown and review of each album. A typically insightful tribute from Classic Rock. This edition also discusses the then up and coming band Muse, asking if they are the new Queen (!). Fascinating. A unique collection of tributes, each of which is valuable on its own, but whose value as a set is insurmountable. The first three are extremely difficult if not impossible to locate online, including all the major online bookstores.
A truly unique gem for fan and collector alike.... read more
